    @River are you okay right now. Is there any bleeding or anything from pulling them off, or is it just bandage less? Sending you a virtual hug <3. Sorry i missed this by 20 minutes.

    I think i just found the most effective predictor of global conflicts. I call it the Pizza Theorem.

    hey @River - it sounds like you haven’t had a good experience with helplines tonight:( i’m here if you want to talk <3
  • RiverRiver Posts: 5,348 Part of The Furniture
    @shannon_164 there telling me I’m attention seeking now, fml this is why I bottle things up this is why I don’t reach out this is why I don’t trust or have faith in professionals

    that’s so unfair @River - i promise you’re NOT an attention seeker for reaching out for support. if you want to share anything here pls do, we all care and no one here thinks you’re an attention seeker!
  • RiverRiver Posts: 5,348 Part of The Furniture
    @shannon_164 i give up I genuinely just give up at this point, I should just stop talking to the rest of the world and not open up to anyone in the future

    how you’re feeling is so valid @River bit you are deserving of support and shouldn’t have to bottle up your problems, people do care about you, i promise <3

    i’m proud of you for reaching out for support @eylah - i hope that it will be helpful for you <3

    i just used childline's 1-2-1 chat and i also phoned them up today. they were really helpful in listening to what i had to say and stuff like that. i just spoke to them about wanting kids at a young age. its unfortunate that some people have bad experiences with helplines. i think its just dependent on the type of helpline and the volunteer you talk with.

    aw @River i’m so sorry you’re going through this. i can’t imagine how heavy that must feel, especially finding out in that way. we are all here for you, whether you want to talk, sit in silence, or just not be alone. you don’t have to carry it all by yourself <3

    start of the chat she ‘cared’ but to the end of the chat she seemed to be bored of me talking and wanted to end chat pretty quickly. my eyes are stinging from crying so much im so exhausted 💔.

    aw that’s so unfair @eylah - as a person volunteering for samaritans she should care and be interested for the whole chat, i’m so sorry that she wasn’t:( especially as it takes a lot of strength to reach out in the first place! sending you a virtual hug rn <3
  • eylaheylah Community Connector Posts: 10,561 An Original Mixlorian
